If you have bitsa gearbox mounts the rear of the box may be at a different height to standard and this will put the prop out of line, you may have to use different shims in the centre bearing to get it right.
hi mark, yes I did notice the prop angle was wrong so again searched & saw the 2wd has 13mm spacers so I packed some washers to 13mm & got prop perfectly straight but still no joy.
the mount fitted is the same one everyone uses for the 4wd to 2wd conversion, only 1 person upon searching had to red-rill their mount which I find strange & 1 had same issues & fitted a mt75 alloy mounting part & it sorted it (but does same job as re-drilling mine)
gearbox looks level
prop inline
all parts above replaced
I even put the car on a ramp & pulled away but it doesn't do it with no load on the wheels so I applied the handbrake to give it some load & it does it. the centre bearing doesn't move, the rear diff moved up/down & the gearbox wobbled abi but couldn't put my finger on it
every other day im having my car on a ramp to try get to the bottom of it, thing is when it was bodged up with the 4x4 mount it was fine! but the gearbox sat to high imo & looked horrible
from inside car it seems like it in mid tunnel area
